Kurt turns TWO!









Where has the time gone?! We can't believe our curly haired baby boy has grown out of his curls and is TWO! He is the man in charge at this house and loves to boss us all around and tattle on us when we upset him. Because he never likes to slow down, he dislikes having to lay there while I change his diaper and fights me the whole way. Afterwards, he immediately runs to Clark or Dad and says (In a somewhat crying pout) "Daddy, Mommy did it!" Whenever he doesn't get the toy he wants, he usually trots upstairs grunting "No NO Calrky! Mommy mommy, Clarky did it!" He loves Clark and Clark loves Kurt. They play so well together and I LOVE watching them play superheroes. Clark is such a great big brother and has taught Kurt how to play "guys" and put together legos. Kurt's favorites are usually Clarks favorites. He follows after Clark like a little shadow, always a few steps behind. Kurt also loves Buzz and Woody and if he's holding one, he wants to know where there other one is, because to him, they are a pair and have to stick together. Kurt is always Buzz and he firmly insists that Clark play Woody. He loves to wrestle and is VERY strong! He tackles without any warning! He loves "nannas" and gogurts ! He loves is "bankie" and cuddles now, only when watching " bubba uppies" He is grunting and growling always and has recently moved to more verbal sentences, which is a nice change:) We had a great day celebrating Kurts birthday March 9. We had birthday muffins for breakfast, had lunch with friends and played, picked up daddy from the airport (his favorite gift of all!), ate cake and ice cream, sang a few 100 times, and opened presents. On his birthday morning, Clark and I sang happy birthday and afterwards, kurt turned to me and said "Hat? where it go? birthday?" He recently watched a Mickey Mouse where they apparently talked about birthday hats. I blew it! The one kid that actually wanted to wear a birthday hat with elastic around the chin, didn't get to! I guess there is always next year! We love our Kurty boy!

Digging up Dinos and Playing Scientist











Clark has been on a real dinosaur kick for the last 6 months! He loves T-rex and has gotten pretty good at drawing different dinos in his special "Reptile Book". He has filled hundreds of pages with dinosaurs and snakes. On some pages, he has me write little phrases like, " T-rex is a carnivore because he eats meat." and " "long necks are herbivores because they eat plants" He is actually pretty knowledgeable on all things Dinos thanks to a series of films National Geographic made. He has logged lots of hours reading and looking at dinosaur books and watching jurassic park :) A few weeks ago, Rob and I created a little dinosaur dig in the backyard for our future paleontologist . We love our Clark and are amazed at his thirst for knowledge and his ability to remember EVERYTHING! He loves all things science, so you can imagine how thrilled he was when we came across some experimental supplies at target. Love this mr!
